Gumballs. Yes, you heard right. Gumballs. My newest kit is filled with tons of circles in all different sizes, but when you add my template color palette to them, they look like gumballs. This kit works with either clipping papers to the circles or substituting elements so you have instant clusters or scatters.

My {Spring} Story is part of the whimsical part of the My Story line. I felt so bad for all my CT members living in the parts of the US where cold weather blasted them for months. This was to give them a little sunshine, even if just on a page. If you have not used the My Story kits, they work by simply clipping your paper or photos to the pre-cut shapes which fit perfectly under the page frame. The frame is optional. I like it because I prefer clean lines, but I also like the shadow box look. They work for pocket page projects and regular layouts.

My {Basic} Story, Volume 2 actually was a request from one of my Project 365 CT member's. She was needing some more standard size masks for her pocket page album and I figured if she needs them, then someone else must.

Now, to the craziest kit of the bunch. Many close to me know one of my dearest friends is Jill of Created by Jill Scraps. She had been planning to release a 50th birthday kit to celebrate her birthday. We chatted about working together with me making a companion template kit. So I made one. But when I saw she named her kit "Yep, It's My Birthday" it only made sense for me to call the matching template kit "It's Jill's Birthday!" You will find the templates work perfectly with her kits because they were designed with the specific papers and elements in mind. You will even be able to match up template parts to her kit parts, if you use them together. You may also want to watch out for all the fun Jill has planned for this weekend. Head over to the Created by Jill Scraps blog to find out when the games will start and where to find the freebies.
